Strawberry Souffle!

This is our first new recipe! STRAWBERRY SOUFFLE! We were very nervous because we heard it was very putsy but for our first attempt at a souffle we think we did a good job! And it was DELICIOUS! 

Now it's your turn...get baking!

What you'll need:
Ingredients
  • Butter, to grease ramekins
  • 24 ounces fresh strawberries, divided
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 11 tablespoons sugar, divided, plus more to dust ramekins
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 4 egg whites



                      Butter six 8-ounce ramekins and dust with sugar. Set aside.
                                    Preheat oven to 400º. Set ramekins on baking sheet.


 
                Coarsely puree half the berries with 6 tablespoons of sugar, lemon juice and                     cornstarch. Pour into small sauce pan and cook on medium till puree boils and thickens. Cool completely.


Slice remaining berries and add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of Grand Marnier. Mix and taste for sweetness. Add more sugar if needed. Set aside.




Beat egg whites till foamy. Slowly add in remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and whip till stiff peaks form. Slowly fold puree into egg whites, one third at a time. Divide between the six ramekins and smooth tops with offset spatula. Run finger around perimeter of each soufflé to make a slight indentation in soufflé. Slide tray of ramekins into oven and bake 14-17 minutes or till soufflés are puffed and golden.







Serve immediately with sliced berries.





For us we used frozen strawberries, bottled lemon juice. Also it was a tad tricky with the stiff peaks. ...it took us 9 eggs instead of 4. Soooo be careful on that part! It says it serves 6...well where we're from it serves 2...

All and all this was a total success!! We are very pleased and felt rather fancy!

Good luck!

We found this recipe on: a great website we found on pinterest!
